The Creators of the Film, Remember the Titans
The film Remember the Titans described the real life story of a High School that was looking to desegregate in the 1960s. The story describes Caucasian and African American student athletes playing together football in the High School team and attempting to get rid of racism. Initially, there were students that did not get along and did not want to play together.
Over time, the team is convinced to work together in order to win games. While there was racism initially, teammates began to cooperate and understand that racism has no place in civil society. The team began to improve and win games and describe that racism is not needed.
The movie does an amazing job portraying the importance of empathy and genuineness. In the 1960s, there were high schools that were being desegregated and there was opposition from racist socialists who did not want to relinquish the caste system of the past. The South had created a caste system that looked to prevent equal opportunity for individuals in order to propagate racism and inequality.
After the Civil Rights Movement fought against racism, Civil Rights Legislation was sent to Congress in 1963 and approved in 1964. High schools in the United States began to desegregate. Individuals of all races were able to obtain an education and play in sports having the equal opportunity to improve themselves. The film, Remember the Titans, was an amazing film reminding us to practice genuine empathy and to treat others the manner that we would like to be treated. The movie also has a great Motown soundtrack.
